Hi. Thanks for posting the video. I was,so ad that I had to miss Kelly's presentation on potato onions. I am glad though that I watched the video because I'm goin to plant a row of direct seeds tomorrow and also strt several pots indoors as well, just I case we get one more heavy freeze. Here in st George it feels like spring for months before that final cold snap in April. S I'm going to try both just in case. I'm glad that I bought what I did from him in October cause now I'm set.Thanks for the video again. I,hope to make the next meeting.

How to Become a Member

If you would like to become a member of the Utah Seed Exchange you will need to:

1. Commit to learning and actively saving seeds, at least one new variety a year. You must test your seeds for purity by growing a few and matching them to the parent plant before you share them with anyone.

2. Become familiar with the concepts of seed saving. Please catch up with the information and classes that have been taught. They are listed under the 'Pages' section on the right. Go through the pages and read and watch the information.

3. You will need to own and reference 'Seed to Seed' by Suzanne Ashworth (amazon.com) and it is recommended that you own and read 'The Forgotten Skills of Self-Sufficiency used by the Mormon Pioneer' by Caleb Warnock which is a great book on seed saving in Utah.

When you have done these things, email me your request for membership at utahseedexchange@gmail.com and let me know that you have completed the requirements.
